We just learned about the North Star.
Up in the sky at night, you can usually see one or two groups of stars that look kind of like a measuring cup, scooper, ladle or spoon.
A group of stars is called a constellation, and these are called the big dipper and little dipper.
The big dipper is also part of a constellation called ursa major.
